Episode 20: Colin Raney + #bitsblocks + a digital edition of VDTBOM
We have an action packed episode 20 (!!!!) for you this week, chock full of goodness. It’s officially summer, which means the Bits + Blocks Lab is in full swing at the Harvard Innovation Lab. We’ll introduce you to two of our student design entrepreneurs, Eric + Shuya, in a new segment we’re calling the Bits + Blocks Bite. We’ll continue to share stories over the next few months, attempting to bottle up a little of the excitement and energy happening there. If you’d like to read more about the Lab and our exploration into bitcoin + blockchain, visit our Humans + Bits + Blocks publication on Medium (https://medium.com/humanizing-bitcoin-blockchain). Our guest this week is our dear friend, IDEO alum and all-around awesome person, Colin Raney. Colin is currently the global marketing lead at Formlabs, doing groundbreaking work in the 3D printing space. Colin and Diego chat about everything from World of Warcraft to 3D printed instruments to how and why to stay inspired everyday. If you’d like to see the 3D printed film Colin mentions, you can find it here: www.chasemefilm.com. And what about VDTBOM, you ask? We’re living in a digital world and our Venture Design That Blew Our Mind reflects that this week. First up, the massive one article coding issue of Bloomberg Businessweek (http://www.bloomberg.com/company/announcements/bloomberg-businessweek-releases-code-issue-special-multi-platform-package-demystifying-code/). Joe rolls that into a conversation about this recipe list on IFTTT (https://ifttt.com/recipes/collections/161-recipes-for-your-car?utm_avenue=june). You might also notice that Diego sounds a lot like Piper in this episode. Oh, wait, that IS Piper! But don’t fret. Diego will be back in time for Episode 21. We promise. Want to keep in touch?
